Hi all,

Just after some info on the 4 spot Alcon front brake setup and if this sounds like a good deal compared to geting gtr calipers/ rotors.

I have been offered these brakes in good condition for $2200, never heard of alcon before untill now but they are surposed to be a major front brake upgrade for gtr's.

I own a 32 gtst, but its fitted with a 26dett and im about to go down the brake upgrade road. I just want to know if this is a better way to go rather than fitting normal gtr brakes and so on.

They come with really thick discs, unsure of exact measurements as yet but I do know they will fit behind a 16inch enkei wheel. The owner also said there is one small mod required to do to the hub to make the brakes fit. They were originaly purchased for targa tasmania but he has since sold the car but still has the brakes.

This is the only info i have from the owner of brakes but just thought I would see what people think of the setup and price and if its a worthwhile road to take.

Any info is much appreciated.

If they fit behind 16 Enkei wheels they are most likely the 332 x 32 mm rotors. The mod to the hub is likely the little 6mm tapped hole that sits there for god knows what reason that sometimes clashes with the radial mount.

They are a good thing provided the rotors are in good shape the seals not worn.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
